Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
The process was a recruiter screening call followed by a technical interview with a senior engineer. The second stage was going to be a conversation about a past project, but unfortunately, it turned into a grilling. I didn't enjoy the vibe of that call, but it helped me to realize they're on the lookout for individual contributors, not team players.
